About Global Industrial Marine Coating

Global Industrial Marine Coating is one of the best service Ernakulam.Welcome to Global Industrial Marine Coating (GIMC). GIMC was established in the year 2010 to provide painting/coating services to the marine, industrial and civil sectors. Painting/coating in the marine, industrial and civil sectors is a job that requires years of experience and great skill. This is where GIMC comes in with an immense wealth of knowledge in the relevent field. The owner of GIMC, Mr. Nigheesh E M has unmatched skill in handling the operations related to painting/coating. Before founding GIMC in 2010, he worked as Site Manager at international level for painting department in Dubai Dry Dock and Qatar Dry Dock and holds painting experience in GCC country oil and gas industrial sector. His total Gulf experience spans over 12 years.

Scope of Work

Global Industrial Marine Coating (GIMC) has been at the forefront of providing painting/coating services to various sectors including marine and industrial sectors. GIMC has unmatched expertise in the field of surface preparation using various blasting operations conforming to industry and safety standards. Scope of our work includes De-rusting, Chipping, Scraping, Power Tool Equipment and Sand Blasting with quality surface preparation. Power Tooling standards we follow are

ST-1 : Power Brushing and Cleaning
ST-2 : Loose paint removal and local cleaning. Power-brushing, de-rusting, flash point removal, grinding, sanding, buffing.
ST-3 : Complete de-rusting with quality surface preparations and painting with required coatings.

We also provide labor supply services (Helpers and Blasters).


Surface Preparation

Before the process of painting/coating commences, it is advisable to clean the surface carefully and thoroughly. If there are products of corrosion reactions and other contaminants on the substrate and paint applied over them, the adhesion of the coating and thus the coating's life would be far from satisfactory. Surface preparation typically involves removing these contaminants and in some instances increasing the area available for adhesion by roughening up the substrate. A good surface preparation grade (degree of cleanliness) along with a suitable surface profile can give 10 years life from a typical four coat paint system. So the two factors need to be considered when inspecting a surface preparation are as follows

Degree of Cleanliness
Surface Profile (Degree of Roughness)


Depending on the variations in cost, efficiency, ease and suitability, surfaces can be prepared for paint application in several different ways like the following.

Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning
Water Blasting
Hand and Power Tool Cleaning
Flame Cleaning
Pickling
Vapour Degreasing
Weathering


Surface Preparation Methodologies

One of the common procedure prior to painting is surface preparation. Surface preparation ensures that there are no contaminants on the surface upon which painting is to be done. Several methodologies are used for surface preparation and they are as follows

H P Washing
L P Washing
Chipping
Chemical Cleaning
Fresh Water Moping
Ball Hammering
Scraping
Emery and Wire Brushing
Power Tooling With Machine (with standards ST 1, ST 2, ST 3)
New Plate Copper Blasting
Sweeping and Spot Blasting
Old Plate Blasting
Sea Growth Removing
Cleaning etc.

Blasting is a process where small angular or spherical particles are propelled at a substrate by compressed air, mechanical high-speed rotating wheels or water pumps. This process is widely used because it is efficient, economical and fast.

Dry abrasive blast cleaning involves compressing air and forcing it along a hose and out of a small aperture called a nozzle. A pressure of 100 psi results in the air exiting the nozzle at approximately 450 mph. If abrasive are mixed in with the air and travel at the same speed, they will carry a lot of work energy. This energy is used in chipping away mill scale and other detritus from the substrate.
